Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[gorodi]

I do not understand why somebody else thinks the volatility is bad. Bitcoin is an investment tool and due to volatility it can grow rapidly, which will allow you to get a lot of profit in a short time.

[Pixyoxx]

Its not completely a bad thing.
People are attracted towards bitcoin in a huge way and a big part of its credit definetely goes to tha volatility of bitcoins.
They are volatile and thus prices rise and fall which makes traders attracted towards bitcoins.

If it was not for the volatility, not many users woukd buy bitcoins and wait for prices to rise and fall and do trading and earn quick profit. Volatility have added a factor of uncertainitu which is quite enticing to the users.

Volatility is very bad for slow transactions. After all, it's unpleasant when you make a payment, and the price has already changed for 3 times already. And because of this bitcoin is not recognized in the world.

I think volatility is not the reason that bitcoin is not being recognized at international level, there are certain other reasons and out of them the biggest reason is the decentralized nature of the bitcoin. Governments wont be able to control the money of the public and this is their biggest fear. Also, the volatility will remain in the market until the demands are equally distributed among the people. Its good or bad, I think we must not conclude now and wait for sometime.

For day traders and short-term investors, volatility presents an opportunity for making profits. By correctly predicting the short-term trends in Bitcoin, traders can make substantial profits; much more than investors who have a buy-and-hold strategy.

I think it is a good thing. volatility creates opportunity for traders. It creates an opportunity to make more profits

that is right, with the volatility, we can try to buy when the price is down and then we can sell it if the price is up. I am sure that many people use this opportunity to earn more profits and I think they do not only want 10% of the profit but they want more profits. but be careful, don't make a wrong decision when you want to buy bitcoin and make sure you can determine the price before you buy bitcoin.

The traders are taking more interest in bitcoin because of the volatility of bitcoin price. In fact the traders always wishing to buy bitcoin in a low price and when ever the market take a correction they try to buy bitcoin in low price and then hold it for some time so that they can get some good profit from bitcoin investment, therefore i think that volatility in the price of bitcoin is a good thing.

Thats true. you could say that fluctuations make a lot of people interested to invest and trade in bitcoin. because of the fluctuation bitcoin prices can rise and fall very quickly. thats allowing you to gain profit quickly. that's what makes a lot of people interested. I think for some users the fluctuations are not a bad thing it actually helps them to make big profits in a short time

Steam dropped bitcoin support citing "high volatility" as a motive.

When amazon stock jumped from $18 to $1,200 over a period of years, was this high volatility a bad thing?

If bitcoin's value increases from $6,000 to $16,000 over a period of months, and HODL'ers benefit, this high volatility is bad?

Where does the idea of high volatility being an unnecessary evil come from?

Are there good arguments or evidence which support the concept of high volatility being a negative circumstance?

In a sense, volatility simply means the price of something moves a lot, its not that bad if the vast majority of motion is in an upward direction?

 

i like this op. volatility is not only bad thing but good thing too.
as we know, volatility one of some bitcoin characteristic that can make profit and loss. profit and loss are staying together and can not be separated. it mean volatility has pro and con.

it is like a knife, when we know how to use it then we can make a profit but if we don't know how to use it then we are going to losing again. many of us are getting stuck in high price because the price is always changed but if they know and they still hold, when the price is down actually it gives them a chance to buy again to add more amount in their wallet so when the price is back to increase, they can sell and make a profit. we should know the characteristic of bitcoin so we can use it to make a profit like other people.

Stocks from a company and Bitcoin has different purposes. The bitcoin it's meant to be used to make payments and be spent, considering this, a high volatility can be a problem, but, this is just my opinion.

[weav]

Depends on how you see bitcoin , if you see it as a currency it is a bad thing , because people would be scared to buy something if the value can increase that fast. Nobody wants to be the next pizza guy.
The other side is that volatility brings in a lot of new investors , so if you see it as something to take a risk on to make some money it can be good.

I think it is a no because volatility of bitcoin is the best way to increase the price of bitcoin more because people sell their bicoins if it bump and it caused that bitcoin will going decrease again and hen they buy again and the advantag is it will increase doubled.

Price of any currency is determined by its demand and supply. If demand is more and supply is less then prices goes up. In that case central authority interferes and regulates the supply and price. Bitcoin is a digital, autonomous decentralised currency. Its supply is restricted in number, but due to its features its demand is increasing regularly. Being a decentralised nature no authority is there to regulate bitcoin currency. That is why bitcoin has become so volatile in nature. This volatility is becoming an obstacle in its grown.  Bitcoin is more popular as an asset not as a currency. Due to its volatile nature many countries are regulating or banning bitcoin`s operations.

If the majority of people uses it as a daily digital billing function volatility might not be a problem if the reality comes up with that situation traders and HODL'ers will be at ease. So volatility is not a bad thing if you have the attitude of a martyr.

[Natsuu]

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing it actually gives traders and investors more opportunity to earn more. And it actually teaches us to be patient and learn when to sell or buy at a good time.

Absolutely. That's why some treat this as less than a currency but more than an investment. Bitcoin being volatile is what makes the investors more attracted and giving them chills and thrills that linger in their skin. I guess nobody wants bitcoin to have a stable price because being volatile gives us a huge profit but of course we should be more knowledgeable when to buy, hold and sell.

high volatility mean high changes of price it is easy to lost more than 1,000$

also it is big problem for who want to trade

Think positively mate if price decline for 1000$ then see the volatility has given use 5000$ in previous week in only two days if volatility factor get vanished then there will be no high profit and stable bitcoin will not fascinate people as it is doing now and people will take put their money and will be in search of some other investment which is volatile and give them huge money in smaller times, volatility is need of people.

Yeah volatility is a good thing and because of bitcoin volatility people are getting millions of profit and if we assume that volatility gets low then believe me it will be like gold and its investor will start fetching some new investment which can give them more benefits and in short people are investing in bitcoin because it moves up and down and this thing is according to wishes of investor and they never want removal.

For a long term investments it is risky but for a day traders and short-term investors, volatility presents a chance of making profit. Logically it is much easier to predict short-term prices and trends in any cryptocurrency. I would say that ordinary currencies are volatile as well, e.g. many factors influence what you can buy for 100$.

No, not at all. Volatility is as profitable and beneficial for long term investors as it is for day traders or short term traders. Though crypto currencies are very volatile in nature but in case of bitcoin, the more you hold the more you have chances of becoming rich and earning grand profits.

If you’re re dealing with altcoins, there are chances of going in loss with the changes in their values but with bitcoin volatility is very good.

Not really. It has the same concept as shares. Volatility is what brings traders to shares and cryptos, where each time it goes up, they sell, and it goes down, they buy. The hard bit is knowing when to do either tasks. The volatility essentially presents new opportunity for traders to make money,and without it, the market would probably be very stale.

Okay! Another advice for me to become curious again. Hoping that not far from this day I will going to become more wise and intelligent trader soon. From money to money.

[weblaraveluser]

No it is not, The best thing about bitcoins is the volatility in market that's why it is called as good for long term investment, You can depend on the positive speculations of different bloggers to boost your confidence.

[thebanker28]

I am not the expert but I believe that Bitcoin is volatile mostly because the market is uncertain as to how to price it. I think the price will eventually settle into a range and then it will be much more usable. What that range is remains to be seen - it might be significantly higher than what the current price is.
